Lehmann Council campaign fueled by cuisine

In a race as crowded as the buffet at Blackhawk, how can a Northwest Denver voter distinguish one candidate from the others? Denver City Council District One Candidate Jon Lehmann is serving up something new for the campaign trail – a campaign chef, Kirston Ha.

Some campaigns are fueled by pizza and beer; this campaign adds a culinary flair. Kirston serves up unique creations to keep Jon and his volunteers energized. “I’ve worked on a lot of campaigns and this is the first time I’ve eaten so well. It makes me want to knock on doors every day!” exclaimed dedicated volunteer and Director of Visibility, Diane Tate.

Beginning today, the chef’s bi-weekly blog posts will give families new ways to celebrate the amazing diversity present in the District One community. The Lehmann campaign will reach into homes with more than shiny postcards, sharing new dishes highlighting and incorporating cross-cultural themes. The campaign chef’s creations, and Jon’s campaign slogan, “Community is Unity,” reflects the cultural rainbow of the District.

Today’s post features sushi utilizing not only the usual raw fish but also colorful ingredients like Moroccan Preserved Lemons. Previous posts include “Shamrock the Vote – Corned Beef Supper.”

Look for Matzo Ball Soup topped with Cilantro Lime Chicken and Sweet Potato Tamales in the days and weeks to come. (All recipes are exhaustively tested on campaign volunteers.) Just as Jon would like to hear about the issues that are important to voters, Kirston loves responding to recipe requests – email him at [email protected]
